Verticle,
I am in full agreement. With heavy wing loaded models (warbirds & jets) you don't dare stall on final approach so most guys make sure they are too fast and then it is hard not to overshoot. I have flown my 1/4 scale Cub and my Shoestring with telemetry air speed and my approaches are much more consistent. I plan on getting air speed now on my jets and warbird. My airspeed is announced on the Tx speaker and the screen read out.
